The sea around the Azores provides an opportunity to have fantastic diving experiences. Due to volcanic origins and the distance between the American and European continents, there are stunning caves underwater, thermal water springs, unique vegetation, natural reefs, rocks and diverse marine life. Water temperature is warmer from May until December due to the Gulf Streams. If you love diving or would like to try it, the Azores is an amazing place to have a great experience underwater!

Geotourism / Volcano Watching

The Azores Archipelago has volcanic origins and it is considered by many to have exceptional landscape due to this influence. Recent eruptions are visible and can be visited.

We offer organized trips to several geological interest spots.
